6 Storage Market in Midst of Disruption Server Storage Shared Storage New Forms Key Drivers years ago years ago Today Server flash Falling storage prices Abundant CPU cycles Hypervisor-converged infrastructure Cloud economics 6
7 New Storage Tiers Are Rapidly Growing Flash: Enables New Storage Architectures Cloud: Enables Cost-Effective Storage Cloud Storage Flash is 50x 2,000x faster than HDD 110K/140K IOPs R/W from 360GB MLC PCIe card 1 Less than $0.10 per IOP Eliminates the need to stripe across 100s of HDDs Enables high performance server-side storage Highly scalable, pay-as-you-go Access through standard APIs Low cost for capacity $0.05 per GB per month 2 Forecasted to grow at 40% annually to Source: FusionIO iodrive2, Feb Source: Amazon S3, Feb Source: MarketsandMarkets Cloud Storage report - 7
8 The Hypervisor Opens Up New Opportunities The virtualization platform: Knows the needs of all apps in real time vsphere Sits directly in the I/O path Global view of underlying infrastructure Hardware agnostic x86 Servers SAN / NAS Cloud Storage 8
9 Leveraging The Hypervisor We Can Transform Storage Today Software-defined Storage Automate SLAs via VM-centric policies (Policy-based Control Plane) LUN LUN LUN LUN LUN Replication Hypervisor Converged Pool SAN/NAS Pool Snapshots Object-based Pool VM level Data services (Virtual Data Services) Abstract and pool (Virtualized Data Plane) Array A Array B vsphere Device specific management Lack of VM awareness Rigid SLAs management from LUNs x86 Servers SAN / NAS Cloud Object Storage Virtual SAN 9
10 VMware Virtual SAN Radically Simple Hypervisor-Converged Storage
11 Virtual SAN: Radically Simple Hypervisor-Converged Storage The Basics vsphere + Virtual SAN Software-defined storage embedded in vsphere Runs on any standard x86 server Pools HDD/flash into a shared datastore SSD Hard disks SSD Hard disks SSD Hard disks Managed through storage policy-based management framework Virtual SAN Shared Datastore High performance through flash acceleration Highly resilient - zero data loss in the event of hardware failures Deeply integrated with the VMware stack 11
12 Two Ways to Build a Virtual SAN Node Completely Hardware Independent 1. Virtual SAN Ready Node Preconfigured server ready to use Virtual SAN 2. Build Your Own Choose individual components Any Server on vsphere Hardware Compatibility List SSD or PCIe SAS/NL-SAS/ SATA HDDs HBA/RAID Controller with multiple options available at GA + 30 using the Virtual SAN Compatibility Guide* Note: For additional details, please refer to Virtual SAN VMware Compatibility Guide Page Components for Virtual SAN must be chosen from Virtual SAN HCL, using any other components is unsupported 12
13 Flexibly Configure For Performance And Capacity Performance Capacity 2xCPU 8-core 128GB Memory 2xCPU 8-core 128GB Memory 2xCPU 8-core 128GB Memory 1x 400GB MLC SSD (~15% of usable capacity) 1x 400GB MLC SSD (~10% of usable capacity) 2x 400GB MLC SSD (~4% of usable capacity) 5x 1.2TB 10K SAS 7x 2TB 7.2K NL-SAS 10x 4TB 7.2K NL-SAS IOPS 1 ~20-15K ~15-10K ~10-5K Raw Capacity 6TB 14TB 40TB 1. Mix workload 70% Read, 80% Random Estimated based on 2013 street pricing, Capex (includes storage hardware + Software License costs) 13
14 Why Virtual SAN? Radically Simple High Performance Lower TCO Two click Install Single pane of glass Policy-driven Self-tuning Integrated with VMware stack Embedded in vsphere kernel Flash-accelerated Up to 2M IOPs from 32 nodes Granular and linear scaling Server-side economics No large upfront investments Grow-as-you-go Easy to operate with powerful automation No specialized skillset 14
15 Virtual SAN Components Virtual SAN components are chunks of objects distributes across multiple hosts in a cluster in order to tolerate simultaneous failures and meet performance requirements. Virtual SAN utilizes a Distributed RAID architecture to distribute data across the cluster. Components are distributed with the use of two main techniques: Striping (RAID0) Mirroring (RAID1) vsandatastore RAID1 replica-1 disk group disk group disk group disk group disk group replica-2 HDD HDD HDD HDD HDD VSAN network VSAN network VSAN network VSAN network VSAN network Number of component replicas created is based on the object policy definition. 15
16 Virtual SAN Is Highly Resilient Against Any Hardware Failure Virtual SAN is Designed to Ensure Data is Never Lost in Case of Failures Simple to set up via policy Delivered on per VM basis vsphere + Virtual SAN Zero data loss in case of disk, network or host failures Ensures zero downtime from disk or network failures Interoperable with vsphere HA and Maintenance Mode 16
17 Virtual SAN Enables Elastic Linear Scaling of Performance and Capacity No More Complex Forecasting & Large Upfront Investments Scale OUT Add more nodes Scale UP Add more Disks Elastic Grow or shrink on demand Granular Add single nodes or disks Non-disruptive No app downtime 4.4 PB 400 TB 40 TB Capacity IOPS Virtual SAN enables us to scale our storage infrastructure and while providing the necessary redundancy. This allows us to be more agile and bring our solutions to market faster. Frans Van Rooyen Cloud Architect, Adobe 17
18 Virtual SAN Delivers Enterprise-Grade Scale Maximum Scalability per Virtual SAN Cluster 32 Hosts 3,200 VMs 2M IOPS 4.4 Petabytes 18
19 High Performance with Elastic and Linear Scalability Up to 2M IOPs in 32 Node Cluster Comparable VDI density to an All Flash Array 2M Number of VDI VMs M 473 IOPS 80K 253K 160K 505K 320K 1M 480K 640K Number of Hosts In Virtual SAN Cluster Notes: based on IOmeter benchmark Mixed = 70% Read, 4K 80% random Mixed 100% Read Number of Hosts In Virtual SAN Cluster VSAN Notes: Based on View Planner benchmark All SSD Array 19
20 Virtual SAN Simplifies Storage If You Know vsphere, You Know Virtual SAN Two clicks to deploy! 20
21 Virtual SAN is Deeply Integrated with VMware Stack Ideal for VMware Environments vsphere Data Protection Virtual Desktop vmotion vsphere HA DRS Storage vmotion Snapshots Linked Clones VDP Advanced vsphere Replication VMware View Cloud Ops and Automation Disaster Recovery Storage Policy-Based Management vcenter Operations Manager vcloud Automation Center Site Recovery Manager IaaS Site A Site B 21
22 Virtual SAN Puts The App In Charge Simpler and Automated Storage Management Through Application-centric Approach Today Today Virtual SAN 1. Pre-define storage configurations 2. Pre-allocate static bins 3. Expose pre-allocated bins 4. Select appropriate bin 5. Consume from pre-allocated bin Overprovisioning (Better safe than sorry!) Wasted resources, wasted time Frequent data migrations Virtual SAN Shared Datastore 1. Define storage policy 2. Apply policy at VM creation Resource and data service are automatically provisioned and maintained. No overprovisioning Less resources, less time Easy to change 22
23 Virtual SAN Simplifies And Automates Storage Management Per VM Storage Service Levels From a Single Self-tuning Datastore Per VM Storage Policies Policies Set Based on Application Needs Software Automates Control of Service Levels Capacity Storage Policy-Based Management Performance vsphere + Virtual SAN SLAs Virtual SAN is easy to deploy, just a few check boxes. No need to configure RAID. Jim Streit IT Architect, Thomson Reuters Availability No more LUNs/Volumes! Virtual SAN Shared Datastore 23
24 Virtual SAN Reduces CAPEX and OPEX for Better TCO CAPEX Server-side economics No Fibre Channel network Pay-as-you-grow OPEX Simplified storage configuration No LUNs Managed directly through vsphere Web Client Automated VM provisioning Simplified capacity planning As Low as $0.25/IOPS As Low as $50/Desktop 1 As Low as $0.50/GB 2 5X Lower OPEX 4 Up to 50% TCO Reduction 1. Full clones 2. Usable capacity 3. Estimated based on 2013 street pricing, Capex (includes storage hardware + Software License costs) 4. Source: Taneja Group 24
